TITLE WITH NO GUARANTEE OF IMMEDIATE AVAILABILITY.WOW!!Astral Drive is
songwriter and producer Phil Thornalleys vision of a long lost album from the 70s
that only existed in his own mind. A
labor of love that is very much the statement of a lifelong music fan living in
the modern world.He may not be a
household name but many of the records hes made with artists as diverse as The
Cure, Psychedelic Furs, The Jam, Duran Duran, Paul McCartney, and Natalie
Imbruglia (he produced and co-wrote her worldwide smash Torn) certainly hold
a special place in the hearts and ears of millions.Astral Drive is more than just a trip down
memory lane, and Phils lyrics express many of the hard won truths acquired
during his decades inside (and outside) the studio, to form an honest statement
of where hes at today. The ten tracks on Astral Drive were lovingly crafted by
Thornalley himself, aiming for almighty feel over technical accuracy, and using
mostly second or third takes, with occasional augmentations by his Bryan Adams
band mates, drummer Mickey Curry, keyboardist Gary Breit, and guitarist Keith
Scott. He even found a way to include some key backing vocals from Utopias
Kasim Sulton, with whom he has frequently written in the past. From the glorious
keyboard roll out that kicks off Summer Of 76, you know you are in a
time-warp sunshine groove, with girls in satin shorts on roller skates and hair
feathered to within an inch of its life. Channeling equal parts Todd Rundgrens Utopia
and Philly soul, with a dollop of Hall and Oates at their most melodious, this
is pop rock perfection!  PopRockRecord.com The record celebrates the sound of Todd Rundgren's
'70s work - a joyous tour
de forcecomposed of original songs that echo the
catchy sounds that the Hermit of Mink Hollow made all those many years ago. The
warm ballad Wishing I Could Change the World honors the classic Todd-meets-Philly-Soul
bond. The infectious Summer of '76 might as well come with a singalong
module; they don't invite listener participation so much as pretty much require
it. And mark my words - you willwant to sing along, whether you know the words or not.

seventh album has just arrived!“Since Description: “Listening to this new collection, a tribute to rockers Nada Surf, with less-than-zero knowledge of the band or its songs, turns out to be the smartest move I've made in awhile. Going in blind, I was able to judge the songs on their own merits and I didn't have to play the ‘Which Version is Better?’ game. These are the onl
